Are they as well supported? There are lots of SBCs out there but if they are only supported by vendor kernels and have no documentation then i'd rather pay the Pi premium.

ETA: that said for a lot of stuff microcontrollers are a much better bet.

but armbian exists which is a Linux distro that tries to support alot of SBCS IIRC
but i think that uses Vendor kernels too
